| What fun! That must have been some big punch bowl! But what a lovely dream Pippin had! (Poor Seth...) Lovely and fun, as always, Grey Wonderer! *hugs and brownies* Author Reply: The royal punch bowl is huge! It is a wonder they can use it for anything. I am told that it weighs about a ton and is solid gold. In any case, it is lovely. When Marigold gave me this plot bunny I was thrilled with it. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you again for those delicious brownies! | |

| I just love your prologues! The "ahem" at the beginning of the story, I think A.A. Milne called a prologue. Yours are too much fun to miss, so those prologue non-readers don't know what a good time they've not had. *hugs you* *leaves you brownies* *hurries on to read the story* Author Reply: A A Milne was right I think. Most folks want the story, not the 'story of why I wrote the story or the disclaimer.' I like trying to see how strange I can make the disclaimer and still make it work as an actual disclaimer. Thanks for the brownies and I do hope you enjoy the story! | |

| LOL!!! That was wonderful! I especially liked the lad who was standing guard! Poor boy, there he gets the chance to speak to the Ringbearer, but has to speak "around" the main subject. “When did you see him last?” Merry asked, knowing a near lie when he heard one. He’d told enough of this sort to be able to know one when he heard it. Haha! I can very well imagine that! I can't remember the golden punch bowl, but on my next trip to London I will most certainly have a look at it - and think of Pippin taking a bath :) Author Reply: I do think that lots of folks were wanting a chance to speak to Frodo but afraid to do so. It was a shame that poor Seth's one chance at it resulted in having to explain about that mysterious bath! And I am guessing that Merry was quite talented at little white lies, don't you agree? LOL I really wanted to find a link to a photo of the punch bowl but was never able to find it. When I did a search for one all I kept getting were photos of crowns! Next trip look at it closely and see if you can imagine Pippin bathing in it! | |

| LOL!!! Your disclaimers are great, G.W.! So, now that Tolkien's characters safely found their way into your story, it's time to start reading it ;-) Author Reply: Thanks for dropping by. Glad you enjoy these little odd disclaimers. | |

| This was great fun to read. I particularly liked Faramir's reaction: "It has a ladle" made me giggle. Thanks for this. Author Reply: Faramir must have been very shocked to see the royal punch bowl used in such a way. Someone else pointed out that the ladle would have been good for rinsing soap out of Pip's hair! That might have killed Faramir! Thank you for reading! | |

| Nonsense! If they scalded the bowl afterwards it should be perfectly ready for its intended purpose! But the idea of Pippin bathing in it and the others ducking him under in that way is priceless--truly priceless! Wonderful! I have been giggling much of this chapter, even. Ah, it could ONLY happen to Pippin! Author Reply: I think that since the bowl was solid gold that it really would have been very easy to clean it and see to it that no hobbit bath germs out into the punch! LOL Glad you got a giggle out of it. That dunking bit just 'had' to happen. I suspect that Merry and Frodo simply could not let that bit about the Thain needing a royal bath pass without some action being taken. | |

| No, we wouldn't dream of blaming them for any misteaks. Even your prologues are a work of art, child! Hehehehe! Author Reply: I hate writing the same disclaimer every time and so I've got to the point where I'm trying to make each of them a little different. It's fun. Glad you like them. | |
